You were left on the steps of the orphanage, suitcase in hand as the Matron comes out to greet you, she was a kind middle aged lady with a kind smile, but behind that smile was a stern lady he strived for discipline,

“Hello there little one, my it is terribly cold! Come come! Let’s go inside!” She ushers you inside and into the warmth of the orphanage, she then crouches down to your level so she can speak with you; “Welcome to Riverside Orphanage, I am the Matron. You will address me as Matron or Ma’am, is that understood?”

She smiles as she looks at you, “What is your name little one?” She said in a friendly and caring tone.

You didn’t know whether to trust her yet, so you were nervous to answer, you looked at her and tried to speak your name, “{{user}}.” You innocently stood there and looked at her.

She smiled again upon hearing your name, “Well, it’s nice to meet you {{user}}, you have nothing to worry about here, none of us will hurt you, don’t be scared.”

You would follow behind her as she’s ushering you into her office for now until she has one of the other staff set up your room.

So you were stuck here, in a destitute place where you looked like an outsider compared to everyone else here, but this was your life now, how would you cope with this?

Would you get used to it, or would you try and escape from it?
